Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Vampires are nocturnal creatures, and I'm not suitable for daytime activities," she said, still asleep.

Seeing Aiwen, she wanted to fall on him.

"You're talking about bats..." Ivan hurriedly supported her.

Twenty minutes later, three people walked into the auditorium, and Ron and Colin had already secured their seats for them.

The ceiling was blue and blue, with a few faint wisps of cloud, like the sky outside the high mullioned windows.

The weather was pleasant, but the atmosphere quickly became awkward.

They saw that Hagrid was waving happily to them from the teachers' bench.

Except for important occasions, he rarely comes to the auditorium for dinner. Being able to appear here shows that he is in a very good mood now, and this good mood is probably because of his new semester courses and the magical animals he prepared. Strictly speaking Said it was his first year teaching the class of NEWTs...

Chapter 1290 Course Selection

Previously, the Protection of Magical Creatures class in the upper grades had been taught by Professor Graplan.

It was the witch who had been his substitute when Hagrid was away.

After Professor Kettleburn retired, she and Hagrid are the only remaining two professors of protection of magical creatures at Hogwarts. She is in charge of the upper grades, and Hagrid is in charge of the lower grades, but she is willing to give up some NEWTs classes this year For Hagrid, students are free to choose which teacher to take Care of Magical Creatures.

It could be seen that Hagrid was very happy to accept this new challenge.

The OwLs score he requires is lower than that of Professor Graplan, and as long as he passes, he can enter his NEWTs class.

But the actual situation is that it is not a question of the number of points at all.The students had endured it for a long time, and now that they finally had the chance to choose their courses again, they would naturally give up Hagrid's Protection of Magical Creatures class without hesitation, and stay away from him and his dangerous animals.

Students who are willing to study this course should still choose Professor Graplan.

Even if they didn't have enough points, they wouldn't choose Hagrid.

But looking at Hagrid's appearance, it seemed that Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron would choose him.

"Oh, Hagrid!" Hermione looked distressed at seeing him waving, "he couldn't really think we were going to Care of Fantastic Creatures, I mean, none of us showed any enthusiasm at all." ah!"

"Well, because we like Hagrid, we work the hardest in his class, but he thinks we like that stupid homework. Who do you think would go to his improvement class?" Ron said.

"I just thought Hagrid's class was interesting," said Elaine, watching Ron devour an egg in one gulp.

"In a sense, his class is very interesting, but it's not suitable for those of us, um, wizards who don't love dangerous magical creatures so much." Ivan found a relatively specific definition, which he originally wanted to use For normal people to describe it, I think this statement is a bit inappropriate.

"Hey, maybe he can only expect a few of us to choose his class." Harry sighed, avoiding Hagrid's gaze, and waved at him perfunctorily, "We have failed his trust, and the class has not yet been chosen." For starters, maybe we should consider adding Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class."

"Please do not!"

"Don't stress, buddy, what we do is not betrayal. If we choose Professor Graplan's class instead of Hagrid's class, that is betrayal." Ron said, "What we are doing now can only be called giving up."

They didn't betray Hagrid, they gave up the class.

Thinking about it this way can play a certain role in comforting my heart.

After breakfast, students of other ages set off for class.

The sixth-grade students stayed and waited for Professor McGonagall to come down from the staff table and began to choose courses.

Professor McGonagall held a thick stack of curriculum schedules, which detailed the professors and required grades for each subject.

She checked each student's application one by one, using her magic wand to delete redundant courses and conjure up a new class schedule.

This work is quite cumbersome and the confirmation speed is very slow.

She has to ensure that each student's OwLs scores meet the requirements of the professors he applies for before allowing him to continue studying the NEWTs improvement class he chose.

Because of careful research many times, Ivan and Hermione's courses were determined almost immediately.

The same courses for both of them are to continue to study Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Herbalism, Ancient Runes and Potions, and give up the history of magic, protection of magical creatures, astronomy, divination, Muggle studies, and Instead of choosing alchemy, which was added in the upper grades, Hermione also chose an extra course of arithmetic and divination.

"Giving up the protection of magical creatures, astronomy, and divination is all right, and alchemy is also fine, but don't you choose History of Magic?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at the applications handed over by the two of them.

"That's right, Professor."

"We gave up the history of magic, and the current knowledge is enough." Ivan followed up.

"Okay, but I have to say one thing, you two are the only two students who got excellent grades in the history of magic this year, especially Hermione, your grades in the history of magic are very high, it would be a pity if you give up, Binns The professor mentioned you to me specifically, for the first time since I knew him."

Ivan and Hermione looked at each other, and it was obvious that she was getting tangled up again.

Apart from divination, she didn't want to give up on anything, and forced herself to die of exhaustion...

"That's the choice, professor, we hope to have more personal time this semester." Ivan said.

Choosing the history of magic means spending a lot of time in the library looking for various boring historical materials.

They don't want to do it with Time-Turners anymore, and the history of magic classes in the senior year will cover a lot of foreign history of magic, which is of little use unless you plan to be a historian of magic or work as an explorer, Gringotts after graduation A job like a spellbreaker.

He and Hermione didn't plan to develop in this direction, and didn't need to study History of Magic.

If you are really interested in the history of magic in a certain country, you will have time to learn more about it.

Aiwen and Hermione were fast, and they only tangled up in the history of magic.Others took a little more trouble, such as Neville, Professor McGonagall looked down at his application while checking his OWLs results, Neville's round face was full of anxiety.

"Your Herbalism is very good," she said, "Your OWLs are 'Excellent', Mrs. Sprout will be delighted to see you back, Defense Against the Dark Arts is 'Good' and eligible for Sne Professor Pu's course. The problem is Transfiguration. Sorry, Longbottom, the 'pass' grade is not good enough to advance to my Transfiguration NEWTs course, I am afraid you may not be able to keep up, and I do not recommend you to study."

"Are there any other options? Other professors can..."

Neville hung his head, and Professor McGonagall looked at him through the square lenses of his glasses.

"You can take Transfiguration courses from other professors, but based on my teaching experience, you probably won't get the Transfiguration NEWTs certificate after two years. It's just a waste of time. I don't understand why you have to continue studying What about Transfiguration? I don't think you particularly like it."

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Neville looked very sad.

He muttered something, like "my grandma asked me to learn it".

"Oh!" Professor McGonagall snorted, "I see, I'm not criticizing Augusta's education methods, but when will she understand that she should be proud of her grandson instead of always thinking that her Grandson should be better. I'm sorry Longbottom, I can't let you into my improvement class, you can choose other professors, but I don't recommend you to do so. In fact, I see you drop the spell, But your grade in Charms is 'good', why don't you apply to join Professor Flitwick's Charms Improvement Class?"

"My grandma thinks Charms is a way to save trouble," Neville muttered.

"Just take the Charms class." Professor McGonagall finally said, "I'm going to write a letter to Augusta to remind her that just because she failed the OWLs in Charms class back then, it doesn't mean that this subject is not worth learning. .”

Seeing the unbelievably delighted expression on Neville's face, Professor McGonagall tapped on a blank class schedule with the tip of his wand, and handed it to Neville, which had already been filled out in detail with the classes he was going to take this semester.

Professor McGonagall then turned to Parvati Patil.

Patil's first question was whether that pretty centaur, Firenze, was still teaching divination this year.

"He and Professor Trelawney are sharing the divination class this year." Professor McGonagall's tone showed a trace of displeasure. Everyone knows that she has always looked down on divination classes. "He is in charge of the lower grades, teaching the sixth and seventh grades. Divination is taught by Professor Trelawney."

Disappointment was clearly written on Parvati's face, and he took the divination class dejectedly.

Lavender, like her, also chose divination, but she seemed to support Professor Trelawney more.

"Okay, next, Potter Potter..." Professor McGonagall turned to Harry while checking her notes, "Spells, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbalism, Transfiguration, whatever, you are doing well I have to say, I am very satisfied with your Transfiguration results, Potter, very satisfied. But why don't you apply to continue studying Potions? I remember you told me in the employment consultation that your ideal To be an Auror!"

Chapter 1291 Different Class Schedule

During employment counseling last term, Harry told Professor McGonagall that he wanted to be an Auror.

He thinks this profession is great, and he can fight dark wizards.

Being influenced by Sirius also made Harry full of longing for this career.

However, after Ivan told him the future he saw, he carefully considered whether to become a professional Quidditch player, just like Wood and Krum, which sounded good.He likes flying and Quidditch, and his skills are very good, and Ivan also said that he will be a big success.

Harry was tangled for a while, not sure how to choose, an Auror or a Quidditch player?

Later, after he received his OWLs results and knew that his Potions class results had not reached "excellent" and did not meet the requirements for Auror recruitment, he still had some regrets.It seems that he has no way to become an Auror, but Professor McGonagall said so...

"My Potions OWLs are only 'good', Professor, you told me you had to be 'excellent' to do it."

"When Professor Snape taught this class, Professor Slughorn was very willing to accept students with 'good' OWLs into the advanced class. So, would you like to join his class and continue studying Potions?"

"Yes!" said Harry, "but I haven't bought any textbooks or materials..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure Professor Slughorn can lend you some," said Professor McGonagall. "Very well, Potter, here is your schedule. By the way, there are already thirty The classmate has signed up for the Quidditch team. I will give you the list at that time, and you can arrange the trials when you find time."

After Harry came Ron, with Professor McGonagall going over his application.

Ron's grades were not very good. He got the OWLs certificates for most of the courses, but almost all of them passed the line, just passing the line. Only two courses, Protection of Magical Creatures and Potions, got "good".

To be honest, Ron's grades are mediocre, which is related to Hermione's time being taken up by Ivan.He was not the kind of person who could study on his own. In this regard, Ron was not even as good as Harry. Although Hermione made a review plan for the two of them, it was difficult for him to strictly implement it without anyone watching him.

Especially when Hermione left school with Ivan and Elaine, it was a very important review period. Because Harry couldn't participate in Quidditch training and didn't have a girlfriend, he could only study in the library alone every day.Ron's study progress has almost stagnated, he has a lot of things to do, he has to attend training, he has to complete more and more classwork, and he has to spend a lot of time with Lavender, and no one is urging him to study...

When I am free, I probably just want to sleep!

So, his OWLs are not as good as Harry's.Needless to say, his original grades were worse than Harry's. He was able to pass most of the courses, get the OWLs certificate, and his grades in Potions and Protection of Magical Creatures were still good, which showed that Hermione's review plan had indeed played a role.

If Ron's grades are compared with Fred and George's, it can be said to be quite good, which once made Mrs. Weasley very pleased.

She used to worry that he would only get two or three certificates like the twins.

But to be honest, if you want to continue to study NEWTs courses with this grade, there are not many choices.Most of the professors' NEWTs classes require OWLs grades to be "good", and those who are as strict as Snape will require students to achieve excellence before they can continue to enter his class.

So Ron picked and chose, and only signed up for three courses: Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions.

Among them, Potions is taught by Professor Slughorn, and the remaining two are taught by other professors.

"Let me see your timetable!" Ron said, taking Harry's timetable, "Our courses are similar, but Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are stricter, I heard from Percy The two of them had a lot of homework in NEWTs, though. Oh, and you took Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts, which must have sucked, luckily I dropped that class."

"I'd like to give up, too, or take another professor's Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Harry said.

But no, Defense Against the Dark Arts was the only subject taught by just one professor.If you want to continue to study this course, you can only choose Snape, which is the main reason why Snape didn't raise the grade requirement to enter his class to "excellent", otherwise, he would definitely do so.

"On the bright side, Harry, Sixth Form is great, we've cut our curriculum by more than half," he said, holding up his timetable to show Harry. "Look, we don't have classes right now. No class after recess, no class after lunch, no class before dinner, it’s just amazing!"

What he said probably made Hermione uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

She just snorted heavily, and took Aiwen to read the ancient runes.

On the way, Hermione kept saying that Ron was willing to degenerate by making such a choice, and that he should learn more in school.

However, the atmosphere at Hogwarts was like this. After entering the sixth grade, the school began to loosen the management of students, tending to allow students to develop freely and study courses they were interested in.

Because the difficulty of NEWTs courses will be greatly increased, most students will not choose too many courses.There is no end to any kind of magic, and it is almost impossible to master it all. After learning the knowledge in the textbook, you can continue to choose a direction for research and exploration.

If it is not for the specific requirements for NEWTs certificates in employment, many people may not continue to study at all.

You know, in the magic world, most wizards are at the OWLs level, that is, the ordinary wizard level.

They only reach the level of senior wizards in one or two magics that they are interested in.

In the school, there are only a few who choose so many courses like Ivan and Hermione.

Things like Ron's are actually normal.

In this way, there is a problem. If you don't take your studies to heart, you will have a lot of time to play.Fred and George were almost in this state during their last two years at school. The two of them only signed up for one Charms class, and spent the rest of their time doing their own thing, researching those joke products.

Just like that, they are still not confident that they will be able to get the NEWTs certificate for the Charms class...

Sure enough, the ancient magic text class in the new semester was obviously much more difficult than before.They want to learn a script created by ancient goblins. It is said that it is still used inside Gringotts, so it is necessary to learn. This is a very unpopular ancient runic script, which is very difficult, and Ivan has never come into contact with it before.

When they returned to the common room with a lot of runes homework, Harry and Ron were leisurely half-lying on the sofa, discussing the Quidditch team trials. There were still drinks and candy on the table next to them... …

Chapter 1292 Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson

"The two of you are pretty laid back." Hermione glanced at them and said anxiously, "The ancient rune class is very difficult, I memorized everything, but I didn't understand more than half of the content, and the homework was also the same. Pile, one fifteen-inch article, two translations, and so many books to read before Wednesday!"

She gestured with her hand, extending from the left side of her body to Ivan.Those books were all pocketed by Ai Wen, otherwise the two of them would have to carry back the thick stack of books handed out in class like everyone else did. Judging by their expressions, they all looked abused.

"Bad luck!" said Ron lazily, yawning.

"It's nothing, what I'm worried about now is tomorrow's arithmetic and divination class..."

These words, Hermione and Ivan said the whole way.

From the ancient magic text class, we can see that the difficulty of the NEWTs class is much higher than before.

If you don't want to be left behind, you need to spend more after-school time on your studies.

Of course, giving up directly like Ron and choosing few courses is also a way.

Ron probably thought the same way, so what Hermione said did not get his sympathy at all, but gloated a little.

He had a leisurely morning, playing with a mace confiscated from a fourth grader.

"There's Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, wait for it." Hermione said with a fan, "I dare say Snape will give us a lot of homework."

No one agreed with her words, and of course, no one would be foolish to refute her.

Ivan saw that Harry was holding a long list in his hand, and each name was marked with circles and marks.
